I have pre-ordered this as well. I am honestly surprised it hasn't sold out with an edition of only 200 pieces.

Frazetta statues are just not that popular. Always seems to take small editions a while to sell.

I still debate getting the black version. I'm not crazy about the base but it's the best black costume or symbiote Spider-Man I've seen so far.

@nearmint, with the year coming to a close, what would be your Top 3 statues of the year?

 

I would go like this:

 

  1. Sideshow Red Sonja
  2. Prime 1 Serpentor
  3.  Level 52 Studios Catgirl (taking a leap of faith -- this one should arrive shortly after Christmas)

I don't know. My Snake Eyes statue was delayed again. I'm assuming Scarlett will be delayed as well but she was always scheduled for next year. My top would probably have to be a smaller scale statue or figure. I have to look around and give it some thought.

 

Looks like Swamp Thing came out ok. I might have to decide on one when I finish the Wrightson Artist Edition.

Got this one a few days ago :whee:

sw2.thumb.JPG.44c32f58c7516df5a9b7bb4efd5e675f.JPG

And the real box - I added a blu-ray movie to show the size:

Inside the box...

Cranius is really awesome - unfortunately there's just no way to truly capture statues using photos, statues look so much better in the real world - but the following pics may provide some impressions.

Cranius' base:

Next: the giant Swamp Thing base weighing about 20 lbs:

Turtle close-up:

Snake close-up:

The back of the base:

210720116402.thumb.JPG.f23296521c3724a8daee25a5787a0b9c.JPG

Note how the base is made to make it look like Swamp Thing is standing in water - truly awesome:

210720116422.thumb.JPG.d0733df2b274f5d2f73e61c9a683e28a.JPG

Bottom of the base:

And now with Swamp Thing - he completely dwarfs my large 1/4 Batman DKR statue. Both statues are 1/4 in size. I think Swampy is slightly too large, but I don't have a problem with that, it makes Swampy look even more impressive next to Batman: 

 DSC_1407.thumb.JPG.e6d1c24d11202cf1bb4d25adc250a0e3.JPG

Swamp Thing looks quite different depending on the light - here're a few examples:

- and here taken with a real camera (I'm using a smartphone):

The complexity of Swamp Thing is astonishing, check out his back:

I'm really happy for the piece, it's everything I hoped for and even more. I better start reading the Saga of Swamp Thing again, there's no better motivation for reading those books than looking at this statue. The complexity of the statue is so high I feel I'll never get tired of looking at it. It even makes my Galactus maquette look dull and boring!

Awesome, thanks for the pics. I was fence-sitting this one for a long time. Huge Swampy fan, but man that is a pricey and large statue. Not sure where I'd put it even if I decided to spend the $$$. But your post has me reconsidering...

Sorry, I didn't see your post before today.  I'd go with these three, although I only own one of them:

1) XM Hulkbuster

2) Thanos on Throne

3) Sideshow Red Sonja

You're welcome - I've had it for more than a month, and I still can't take my eye off it ;-) It's covered by a lot of paint, and it looks muddy - but that's just how Swampy should look. Like the swamp, Swampy absorbs light, so this statue does benefint from a lot of light - also to show it's surface structures and shadows. In a badly lit room the statue doesn't necessarily show many colors - it may simply look like this:

I'm considering setting up some spot lights to really show off the statue. About the $$$, note that depending on your location shipping and VAT may be expensive. I paid $200 for the shipping (from Hong Kong to Scandinavia, took 1 day using DHL Express, awesome speed, but not free ;-) - and $275 for VAT - $1250 in total.
